An informational hearing was held last night in Monroe about a proposed roundabout at the intersection of Route 110 and Route 111. The state Department of Transportation made a presentation about the project to address operation and safety concerns at Shelton Road and Monroe Turnpike.
The proposed project includes removing the existing flashing light and constructing a roundabout. Hurd Avenue would be turned into a cul-de-sac and sidewalks would be installed in the area.
Construction on the estimated $4.1 million dollars project could begin in the spring of 2017. 80-percent of the construction would be covered by federal funds.
